Michael Sheen Leaves Hollywood to Become a Full-Time Political Activist [View all]

Without specifying for how long, Michael Sheen announced on Saturday that he will break from acting in order to become a full-time political activist.

“In the same way as the Nazis had to be stopped in Germany in the Thirties, this thing that is on the rise has to be stopped,” Sheen told the U.K. paper The Times, which announced the actor’s departure from Hollywood.

Sheen is the star of “Masters of Sex,” which Showtime did not renew for a fifth season, meaning its final episode aired on Nov. 13. He also stars in Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt’s sci-fi film “Passengers” which opens on Dec. 21. The actor also has two film currently in post-production — “Home Again,” starring Reese Witherspoon and Mike White’s film “Brad’s Status.”

He cited Donald Trump’s election as well as the Brexit vote as reasons for his decision to move from Los Angeles to Wales.
